Bio
I am a student at the International Department of Chengdu Tianfu Middle School, majoring in A-Level courses. I am a senior chemistry enthusiast! Although my major is engineering, I have shown an interest in philosophy and sociology since I was a child, which is also the inspiration for me to create TEDxTianfu.
Sports and travel are also an indispensable part of my life. Every time I come into contact with a field, it is like stepping into a new universe, and they all have their own culture and paradigm.
Every collision and integration can constantly inspire my thinking, which must be a major factor in human progress. Hopefully, we can obtain more "impact" in TEDx Event!
I'm passionate about
ALL KINDS OF SPORTS!!!
Master both land, sea and air. With the hobby of watching BBC ("Our Planet") and Animal World Documentary, I was inspired to explore different animals living environments. Therefore, through the training of scuba diving in Phuket, I was approved by PADI for the Open Water diving license when I was 10 years old. Later, this license was renewed by Advanced Open Water diving license and Enriched Air Nitrox in 2023 in Boracay, Philippines. There, I also grasped the skill of kite surfing. Later in 2025, I started my training for sport aircraft, planning to become a pilot in command in when I was 17 years old. Felling in love with equestrian at 4 years old, I also found a passion for animal care.

The TED story
Since the third grade of elementary school, I have watched TED talks every morning while having breakfast since my father has a weekly habit of doing so. I had the good fortune to take part in TEDxChengdu offline when I was twelve years old. Later, I took part in the TEDx speech show in junior high school's first grade, where I spoke on gender stereotypes. I arranged my first-ever TEDx event after realizing that my organizing abilities had improved since starting high school.
